Confined Spaces – A Brief Overview

What is a Confined Space?

OSHA defines a confined space (non-permit and permit-required) as a space that is:

(1) Large enough for an employee to enter and perform work

(2) Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit

(3) Is not designed for continuous occupancy

What is the difference between a "permit-required" and "non-permit" confined space?

	Permit-Required Confined Spaces	Non-Permit Confined Spaces
Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere
Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant
Could trap or asphyxiate an entrant with inwardly converging walls
Could trap or asphyxiate an entrant with a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section
Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard
Contains hazards capable of causing death or serious physical harm

From the chart above we can see that permit-required confined spaces can be extremely dangerous for workers, while non-permit confined spaces are not considered life-threatening. This doesn't mean precautionary steps shouldn't be taken before entering a non-permit space. Safety is essential no matter what the conditions are and because there is still the possibility of an injury occurring, only authorized personnel should enter the space.

OSHA states that if the workplace contains permit spaces, the employer shall inform exposed employees by posting danger signs, or by any other equally effective means, making them aware of the existence, location of, and the danger posed by the permit spaces.

Here are some examples of signs from SafetySign.com that would meet the requirements from OSHA:

Printing Methods

We choose our printing processes for each product carefully so you receive the best quality product at the lowest price with industry-leading turnaround times. Depending on your size, material, quantity, and other factors, your sign will print using one of our carefully-tested methods.

Cross-Hatch Ink Adhesion Test

SafetySign.com’s advanced printing process undergoes a stringent cross-hatching test. This specifically tests the adhesion and resistance to separation of the inks from the sign. In testing, a sample from the printing process is scored and covered in adhesive tape. The tape is removed and the sample assessed for adhesion quality.

We use a three-stage process to test all of our printing processes. We print our signs using only the processes that pass all three stages, giving you the highest quality signage possible.

Fonts

The text is printed in Arial Black font.

The Bilingual Permit Required Prior To Entry Sign from SafetySign.com uses this font to create a bold message that stands out in order to grab your attention, while also remaining clearly legible at the maximum safe viewing distance of the product.
